TESTIMONIALS
Evolvement transformed our large, windy, hot balcony to a wonderful collection of green rooms and green frames vistas. Like many with a rooftop high up, we had the challenges of weight on slab, membranes, soil depth, and plant selection for windy, hot conditions as well as getting a design that looks great.
Evolvement was able to work with the site, suggest technologies, find the right soil and suggest robust plants as well as execute the project and attend to ongoing maintenance.
Our balcony now has the wow factor that everyone wants but few are able to achieve. Highly recommended.
Kind Regards

Robert Griffith, head of Evolvement, revived our vertical garden wall from a dry, drab aesthetic planted with inappropriate plants given the direct north-facing perspective; to a lush, sustainable, highly attractive wall.
Robert appropriated irrigation timing, advised on maintenance and returned promptly to verify the platform's operability and indeed, to replace the few plants that didn't take initially.
I can't recommend Robert highly enough. Professional sincerity is a rare commodity and Robert has it in spades!
